EU says TikTok's design is addictive and violates its rules

The European Commission has formally accused TikTok of violating the bloc's Digital Services Act. The EU says the app's design is addictive, particularly for children, and that this breaches online safety rules.

TikTok has been told it must change these features or face the possibility of massive fines. The company now has a period to respond to the charges before the EU makes a final decision.
